A buddy of mine has one he built with the kit and it ended up being spendy as far as the kit and time when he could have bought a complete one much cheaper. He said the magazines are kind of a problem and only the tanker mags were very easy to use with it. I never shot his, so I couldn't say either way.

The bull pup is a cool look though.

Its always two notes for the hush puppy. I heard they may revamp the whole tax thing a bit so its cheaper and then ban more guns at the same time. You need Daniel Webster to read the laws for you these days.

In all honesty I don't remember but I believe it was three hundred above the cost of the rifle. No class 3 licennse required. I didn't know at the time that a license was not required for a silenced weapon.

I was thinking about getting a bullpup stock for my mini-14 but it said in the catalog that certain mags won't work in it. I didn't want to risk my 30 rounders not fitting and then having wasted $100.
The last time i checked here in Idaho it was $200 for the pemit with no liscence requirements.

Most swat snipers are trained for shooting no more than 100 yards. In an urban setting most shots are about 30 or 40 yards so a .223 would be fine.

The only problem with a shotgun is you have to get close. You won't always have that option. And if your going to be that close anyways you're better off using a bow or crossbow. A lot more quiet. If your shooting at game all the time with a rifle or shotgun then they will eventually move to a different area.

The 7.62x25 mm Tokarev is the hotter Russian version of the 7.62 Mauser. It will push 85-90 grain .308 caliber bullets at about 1600 fps vs. the Mauser's 1400 fps. The original smokeless pistol cartridge, the .30 Borchardt is the father cartridge of the 7.62 Mauser, 7.63 Luger, and the 9mm/.38 ACP family of cartridges.

If you get a chance to pickup a CZ-52 or TT-33 Tokarev pistol, you should do it. It's got a bit more muzzle blast the 9mm but recoil is pretty mild compared to .357 Magnum or even 9mm+P. Surplus ammo for it is dirt cheap. Wolf Ammo now loads hollow point ammo for it as well. The cartridge is pretty versatile. I load 100 grain .308 Speer Plinker bullets to about 1300 fps in it and they work darn good and just about any game out to 50 yards.

A couple of friends have the .45 Springfield XD's and they love them. If I were to buy a .45 ACP pistol, I'd go with one of the numerous Gov't Model clones like a Kimber. Just like the heft of the gun as compared to any of the polymer guns.

Yeah, but the 1911 clones usually cost more for a good quality weapon than an XD. Plus half the capacity in the mag. If i was to buy a .45 based on cost and quality i would get a Ruger p-series. My brother in law had one and it shot very nice.

There are an estimated 1 million black bear living in North America. Most are shy around humans but young males are often forced by older bears into regions where they will contact humans. As one wild life biologist put it, anyone who generalizes about black bears is an idiot. They are unique individuals and should be treated with the respect you would give an African lion or tiger. They are the apex predator for most of North America. I saw a recent bear harvested in the mountains of NC that weighed in at over 800 lbs. There was a larger one harvested along the Texas-New Mexico border in the mountains that was a cattle killer that weighed in at over 900 lbs but this was nearly 100 years ago. If I recall correctly, black bears have killed more humans on record than any other wild predator in the US over the last 100 years. Grizzlies get all the attention but black bears are the nice guy serial killers who live next door.
